The data for this study was collected through self-administered questionnaire to nndergraduate students of a private nniversity. The data collected was tested for convergent/discriminant validity, reliability and the dimensions of the research construct were identified through a multi-step scale of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Multiple regression was conducted to test the hypotheses raised in the study through the use of structural equation model and also to validate the research model. The findings indicate that library service quality has a significant positive effect on library usage and a direct significant effect on user satisfaction while a non-significant effect of library service quality was identified when the total effect was carried out on user satisfaction.
